Temecula Valley Unified’s school board president Joseph Komrosky has responded to criticism from Gov. Gavin Newsom, doubling down on his decision to block a textbook containing references to LGBT activist Harvey Milk, whom Komrosky called a “pedophile” last month.

Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom took to Twitter to blast Komrosky for his comment about Milk, an openly gay activist and politician who was assassinated in 1978.
